A member asked:
Can constant anxiety eventually alter your bowel habits and movements over time (a few months)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes. Anxiety can affect many bodily functions, including bowel function. It would be prudent to consult your doctor. In the meantime, start exercising. Begin with low intensity exercise such as walking and gradually increase the intensity so that you sweat profusely. It may take a few months for the full effect. Wish you good health!
